Close? I was closer since i expected Bordeaux to reach the quarters, i didn't expect them to get past the quarters at all though. I remember you overrating them at the start of the season.

Barcelona star Xavi has risked the wrath of Arsenal fans by claiming Cesc Fabregas is only 'on loan' to the north Londoners.
Spain midfielder Xavi, 30, says Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is simply "delaying the inevitable" by refusing to let his captain move to the Nou Camp.
The Spanish champions had a £29million offer for Fabregas turned down before the World Cup but have continued to court the 23-year-old all summer.
And Xavi insists his international team-mate will be wearing the red and blue colours of Barca sooner or later.
He said: "We know where Cesc wants to be this coming season, but perhaps there is not enough time for Barcelona and Arsenal to agree a deal.
"Arsenal need to understand they are only delaying the inevitable.
"If we don't manage to get his signature this season then Arsenal only really have him on loan for a year because there is nothing they can do to stop him joining next summer.
"I haven't given up on him joining us this season but, if he doesn't, it won't be more than a year before he is back home.
"His people will have a whole season to sort out the deal between the two clubs and it will happen at the very latest next summer."
